"The oven baked version of the wildly popular Mushroom Rice! The idea behind this recipe is that the mushrooms act as a "lid" over the rice as it bakes, and the mushroom juices drip into the rice - best broth ever! The rice is FLUFFY, garlicky and buttery, and the mushrooms are golden brown and juicy inside. Recipe VIDEO below...."
